She was tested and does not have COVID,” McDonald’s rep said in a statement, adding that the comic hadn’t consumed any alcohol before or during the show.
In a series of videos posted to her Instagram Story earlier on Sunday, McDonald apologized to her fans and explained the situation, “I passed out on stage.
